Hi so im very disappointed today here... i bought everything that i needed for a new-built computer but im struggling with this really hard...

So first problem was the cpu fan. I took out the motherboard from its box, installed the EVO 212, then wanted to place the new mobo with this gorgeous fan inside the new case... then guess what, the case has a little window sort of thing on the motherboard's side. Problem is, half of the EVO 212 cooler (not the heatsink part, but the one on the back of the motherboard) sticks out of the case thus the whole motherboard cant be screwed in, only in like 3 holes.... not to mention that if i want to use it the motherboard looks like this: /
by that i mean the heatsink is pretty heavy but since i cant properly screw the mobo to the case, im afraid that the mobo will break in half....

how is it possible to fit the coolermaster hyper 212 evo fit in the coolermaster elite knight 350???? or should i buy an other case/fan??

Ive read on some pages that they could fit it in somehow... but the height doesnt matter because i can get off the side panel so it can fit. The problem is the holes on the motherboard and the holes on the case cannot be aligned (because of the HYPER 212 doesnt fit through that little window on the mobos side, see on the image), thus i cant fix the mobo to the case, resulting in an overweight at the top of the mobo causing the mobo to bend a little bit down.

I hope this helps you all, i included some photos about the holes on the mobo also, although not sure whether you can see them well but i tried what i could. Ty for all your efforts!!


Also i can feel too that im soon to be destined to buy a new case, it is obvious that the cooler is not compatible with the case, but im not 100% sure yet. SO, in case it turns out to be a case problem and i need to buy a new one, which one would you recommend in the same dimension and price category that is compatible with the Hyper 212 EVO too?

Ty really for all your efforts!!

Specs:
MSI 970A-G43
ASUS 750 GTX 1gb GDDR5
PSU type = ATX 450W, peak 550W, but box also said 650W can be reached as well so i have no real idea but i say its 450W (lol)
2*4GB 1600MHz RAM
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Fan
AMD fx 6300 Black Edition AM3+ socket
Samsung HD250HJ HDD 3.0gb/s 3.5" 7200RPM 8MB Cache 250gb (planning to get a new one lol)
